Association between periodontitis, prematurity, low birth weight, and CRP levels – A case–control study

Conclusion The study concludes that there is a significant association between periodontitis and preterm labor and a significant correlation between increased CRP levels, increasing severity of periodontitis and prematurity. As periodontitis is a treatable disease, prematurity can be prevented with early diagnosis.
